Hey all! There are 2 kinds of people in this world. Those who drink coffee, and those who don't. I am a coffee drinker, or as some might say, a Starbucks addict. I go at least every second day and it finally got me to thinking, I could probably make my very own Iced Vanilla Latte at home for way less than $5.00 a cup. So this morning, that is what I set out to do.
What you need:
1 1/2 Cups Milk (skim, 1%, 2%, soy.. anything you want)... I usually use skim so I don't feel guilty
1/2 Cup Coffee or 2 Shots Espresso (I have a keurig at home, so I make the smallest cup of coffee so it is stronger, if you are making your own coffee, use twice the amount of grounds but the same about of water as usual)
Vanilla syrup (you can buy this at any coffee shop or you can use syrup or make your own here)
Ice
You can play around with the quantities as you like. More milk will have less of a coffee taste and less milk will have a stronger coffee taste, try it half and half too! It's all up to your flavor preferences.
Pour milk into your mug or tumbler, mix in 2 tbsp of vanilla syrup, carefully add ice, pour coffee over top, stir and enjoy.
For Caramel Macchiato's, use caramel syrup and caramel sauce on top and voila!
Do you have any home made coffee drinks that you absolutely love?! Let me know!
